Selecting a Preferred Speaker

If multiple speakers are connected to the client system, you can specify which speaker is preferred in a remote desktop. You can also select all the available speakers. If you select a specific speaker and then add or remove a speaker from the client system during a remote session, the changes do not take effect in the remote session. If you select all the available speakers, the devices are updated dynamically during a remote session.

Windows client computer

For a published desktop or published application, you select a preferred speaker by configuring Real-Time Audio-Video settings in the Horizon Client Settings dialog box.

For a remote or virtual desktop, the Real-Time Audio-Video feature can redirect more than one speaker to the remote or virtual desktop so you do not select a preferred speaker.

For more information, see the VMware Horizon Client for Windows Installation and Setup Guide document.

Mac client computer

You specify a preferred speaker in the Mac settings dialog box. For more information, see the VMware Horizon Client for Mac Installation and Setup Guide document.
